Re: Choppers gets a new ride
Noice!
Have paddled one before and they are pretty awesome, was debating between that and the outback when deciding to spend some serious dollars. If I had the spare cash I would have snapped this up in an instant lol
Well done looking forward to the updates.

Re: Choppers gets a new ride
Attached two bits of 50mm poly to a milk crate with zip ties fits ok. Might do the job of rod and tackle storage for a while. Need some rod holders for when rods are out. I want something detachable cause it will travel Inverted for now.

Re: Choppers gets a new ride
Go the Scottys for your detatchable rod holders, strong, adjustable and easily taken on and off.
I got a set labeled Hobie that were actually made by Scotty.
